Google Map Live updates
« on: February 03, 2012, 12:54:09 pm »
I'm a nerd, a big nerd, on many levels.  Maybe that is why I find this so fascinating:

It is all of the updates being done to google maps in real-time.  Whether it be new roads, now places added or whatever.  From the description on the main page (http://www.google.com/help/mapmaker/):
Quote
Google Map Maker lets you add to and update the map, for millions of people to see in Google Maps and Google Earth. You can add your local knowledge for over 180 countries and regions. Get started mapping the places you know.

Maybe no one else will find it as cool as I did, but as a computer nerd and a geocacher I found it pretty darned neat

That is cool, but I get kind of dizzy from watching it for too long!
